Vaccines and Autism

For the first year and a half of her life, Hannah Poling had no evident health problems. Then, one day, she received nine doses of vaccines and her life changed forever. Almost immediately Hannah developed a fever, seizures, and severe health problems. Shockingly, the government has now conceded (8 years later) that, in this case, the vaccines aggravated a rare cell disorder that no one knew Hannah had. And this aggravation resulted in serious brain damage and autism-like symptoms that she will have to deal with for the rest of her life. While the Poling case was the first of its kind to become public, at least 9 other similar cases have been uncovered which date back to 1990. The link between vaccines and autism is yet another reason why parents should question vaccines. Hannah's case is tragic and I hope that it will, at the very least, encourage parents to do some serious research before telling their children to roll up their sleeves.

Got Transparency?

We the People of the United States should be outraged. Having been recently promised the most transparent Administration in history, we are now falling victim to an increasingly secretive federal government. Our elected officials, chosen by us to represent us, are not fulfilling the duty bestowed upon them. Not only are members of both parties ignoring what their constituents have to say but, even worse, many of them aren't even giving the people a chance to speak their minds. CNN recently reported that 94% of the bills passed in the Senate have been by what is known as "unanimous consent". This means that 94% of the bills passed (a total of 855 so far) were not even open to vote or debate. According to the Congressional Research Service, only 6% of bills have been passed by vote and 388 were introduced and passed the same day. How does this affect you? Well, for one, these bills include legislation that will cost U.S. taxpayers a lot of money. Nine billion dollars to be exact. Such secrecy is unacceptable under any circumstances but, in the midst of an unprecedented financial crisis, its consequences become an even bigger slap in the face. We the People cannot afford to let this type of behavior to go unchecked. Our government is supposed to be "of the people, by the people, and for the people". But now, we are allowing elected officials to create laws in secret and, again, our freedom is under attack.

Gerald Celente

The next time you're bored, google "Gerald Celente". Or, better yet, just click here. Mr. Celente, Founder and Director of the Trends Research Institute, is a unique soul. More specifically, he is a trend expert, trusted worldwide as the foremost authority on forecasting, analyzing, and tracking trends. Celente accurately predicted the current financial crisis, and strongly argues that the Federal Reserve System is at the root of our problem. I am always fascinated when I hear him speak, but I found this clip from one of his appearances on Russia Today particularly captivating.


"Washington is Wall Street and Wall Street is Washington. It's an illusion that there's any difference. And again, the Federal Reserve, by lowering interest rates, created the problem. And now they're creating the bailout bubble, which is even bigger than the dot come bubble and the real estate bubble. So no, this is not going to do much of anything. It's just a confidence-building measure, and confidence isn't really going to change the game. It's like putting a set of brakes on a car that has already crashed, and these aren't very good brakes at all."

S.1261- The PASS ID Act

If the globalists have it their way, your state issued driver's license will soon become obsolete. The Pass Act, or S.1261 would require all U.S. citizens to carry a standardized federal ID card with an embedded trackable chip. Remember the transponder that you voluntarily put in your car which allows you to be tracked every time you stop at a toll booth? Well, now imagine something similar, but much smaller that you would be required to carry with you at all times. Do you see where I'm going with this? Not only would this new ID impede on your privacy, it would pave the way for a cashless society. It would also be regarded by the globalists as monumental progress in their continuing effort to build their control grid. Despite individual states working to ensure that driver's licenses are secure documents and possess document integrity, the federal government wants to set international standards that are unnecessary. And, despite states recognizing that these standards are unnecessary, the federal government is using bribery to convince them otherwise. I can only hope that at least some states will put their foot down, keep it down, and refuse to cooperate with a policy that directly violates the U.S. Constitution. But, as we all know, money can and often does change things. At first glance, it can be difficult to understand the dangerous nature of this bill. To learn more, please watch the video I have posted below. It includes some helpful information and helps explain why this bill is an attack on the 1st, 4th, and 10th amendments.

"In the end, because of the biometric capability that's required for the digital face image, your photograph, all Americans are being enrolled into a single, global biometric identification system that will link their body to their ability to buy and sell. The issue really becomes [that] the presumption of innocence is lost. You are guilty until proven innocent. Those cameras that you see on your streets...those cameras aren't targeted at terrorists. They are targeted at you, American citizens."

The 1st Amendment

In the midst of endless federal bailouts, skyrocketing unemployment rates, and the threat of economic collapse, the American people are becoming more and more appreciative of their right to exercise free speech. Concerned citizens everywhere are recognizing that when elected officials begin to threaten our prosperity and civil liberties, voicing opinions of dissent becomes more than a right, it becomes duty. Today, as our government expands its reach and gains more control over the masses, the rights bestowed upon us by the First Amendment have never been more important. And, having said that, I regretfully report that those very rights are now under attack. New hate crimes legislation is currently making its way through Congress which, if signed into law, would allow the federal government to prosecute people involved in "hate speech" transmitted over television, radio, and the internet. The important thing to remember here is that the term "hate speech" is broadly defined and would remain open to interpretation. To be clear, the House version of this bill clearly states:

“Whoever transmits in interstate or foreign commerce [radio, TV, internet] any communication, with the intent to coerce, intimidate, harass, or cause substantial emotional distress to a person, using electronic means to support severe, repeated, and hostile behavior, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than two years, or both. (HR 1966, SEC 3, Sec. 881a)”

"In other words", as Paul Joseph Watson of PrisonPlanet.com explains, "if a talk show host engages in 'hostile' speech against a person or persons of the above mentioned federally protected group that talk show host will face federal prosecution and the prospect of a two year prison term." In his article, Watson also warns us of the Megan Meier Cyberbullying Prevention Act which "would similarly criminalize free speech on the Internet if it can be deemed in any way to have been 'harmful' to an individual".

H.R. 2454 Passes in House

On Friday, June 26 the House of Representatives passed H.R. 2454, better known as the “American Clean Energy and Security Act”. On the surface, this unprecedented legislation looks like an innocent bill backed by good intentions. The title alone suggests that it aims to protect our environment and ultimately our planet. But looks can be deceiving and, in this case, it would benefit us greatly to heed the old saying, “Don’t judge a book by its cover.” Mr. Obama and his Administration claim that H.R. 2454 will create millions of “green” jobs and help reduce our dependency on foreign oil. Whether or not this is accurate, the American Clean Energy and Security Act would also allow the federal government to tax U.S. citizens on a scale never before seen in our history. In addition to skyrocketing taxes, the government would also be granted the power to monitor and regulate the use of electricity in practically any way they deemed necessary. From the type of light bulbs you use to how your entire house or office building is designed, everything would be regulated and taxed. Please understand, this new policy would not be a suggestion. It would be the law, and it would be enforced. The actual text of the bill clearly details the use of a “youth corps” or “youth brigades” to act as “climate police” or “environmental police”. And all this is just the tip of the iceberg. If passed by the Senate and signed into law, H.R. 2454 would impose new taxes that would devastate the world of small business and lead our economy into an even deeper depression. Ron Paul recently said it best in one of his columns:


"The real inconvenient truth is that the cost of government regulations, taxes, fees, red tape and bureaucracy is a considerable expense that has to be considered when companies decide where to do business and how many people they can afford to hire. Increasing governmental burden directly causes capital flight and job losses, as Spain has learned. In this global economy its easy enough for businesses to relocate to countries that are more politically friendly to economic growth. If our government continues to kick the economy while its down, it will be a long time before it gets back up. In fact, jobs are much more likely to go overseas, compounding our problems."


In the ongoing effort to defend liberty and the U.S. Constitution, patriots across the country (including members of Congress) see this bill as a real threat. And the people behind it are well aware of its inherent flaws. They know perfectly well that it would violate the Constitution and impede on our civil liberties. And they knew that it would be much easier to pass in the House if they kept it quiet from the public and made it nearly impossible for Representatives to read it before having to vote on it. That is why the mainstream media gave it close to no attention before it went to vote. That is why a 300 page amendment was submitted at 3:08 the morning before the vote. And that is why when members of Congress asked if they could see the bill before voting, they were repeatedly told “No” by none other than Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi.


Once again, the federal government is using secrecy and fear to pass legislation that would further strip away our civil liberties. Please learn more about H.R. 2454. Please do not blindly accept legislation that would transfer wealth from the private sector to the government sector. And, if you disagree with this legislation, please call your Senators and ask them to vote against the bill. It is up to us to fight this tyranny.

Federal Reserve Granted Dictatorial Powers

"Ron Paul Slams Federal Reserve's New Dictatorial Powers"

Responding to the Obama administration’s new regulatory reform plan, which will officially hand the Federal Reserve complete dictatorial control over the U.S. economy, Congressman Ron Paul told MSNBC that the Fed was now more powerful than Congress.

Paul emphasized that no amount of regulation could compensate for a financial system created and controlled by the Federal Reserve that was completely unstable to begin with.

“The regulations should be on the Federal Reserve. We should have transparency of the Federal Reserve. They can create trillions of dollars to bail out their friends, and we don’t even have any transparency of this. They’re more powerful than the Congress,” said Paul.

As we reported yesterday, the new rules would see the Fed given the authority to “regulate” any company whose activity it believes could threaten the economy and the markets.

Obama’s regulatory “reform” plan is nothing less than a green light for the complete and total takeover of the United States by a private banking cartel that will usurp the power of existing regulatory bodies, who are now being blamed for the financial crisis in order that their status can be abolished and their roles handed over to the all-powerful Fed.

“They’re giving a tremendous amount of more power to the Federal Reserve - the very institution that created our problem. That’s about the way Washington works,” said the Congressman.

“Too much regulations to begin with, so they give it more. The Federal Reserve creates the problem, so we give them more power. It’s fiat money that’s the problem, so we allow them to double the money supply - you can’t solve the problems that way. That’s like saying you can take care of a drug addict by just giving them more drugs,” concluded Paul, adding that the lack of understanding about how the Federal Reserve created the problem and how the free market ought to work was the root of the crisis.
